Configuring the RADIUS Server

Setting the RADIUS Configuration

A RADIUS server policy is a unique authentication and authorization configuration for receiving user
connection requests, authenticating users and returning the configuration information necessary
for the RADIUS client to deliver service to the user. An access point’s requesting client is the entity
with authentication information requiring validation. The access point’s local RADIUS server has
access to a database of authentication information used to validate client authentication requests.

The RADIUS server ensures the information is correct using authentication schemes like PAP, CHAP
or EAP. The user's proof of identification is verified, along with, optionally, other information. The
access point’s RADIUS server policy can also be configured to refer to an external LDAP resource to
verify the user's credentials. The creation and utilization of a single RADIUS server policy is
supported.

To manage the access point’s RADIUS server policy:

1. Select Configuration tab from the web user interface.

Select Services.

2. Expand the RADIUS menu option and select RADIUS Server.
